On Dec. 11, Governor Andrew Cuomo presented contact tracing data that found that 74 percent of COVID cases from September to November were from private gatherings in people’s homes. That’s a much larger number than the 1.4 percent of cases from bars and restaurants. As of Dec. 14, restaurants have paused indoor dining, per Cuomo’s directive. And the 74 percent from household gatherings is nearly 10 times higher than the second-highest driver of COVID cases: healthcare delivery. This source, which accounts for 7.8 percent of infections, includes necessary services in medical facilities. The disparity between the number of cases spawning from household gatherings and cases originating anywhere else is notable. Cuomo said he found the information troubling but ultimately comprehensible. “In many ways, you can understand what happened. You close bars, you close restaurants, you close theaters, you close stadiums, you close mass gatherings. So, where do people go? They go home,” Cuomo said. He went on to point out that the high percentage of cases from gatherings has likely been compounded by Thanksgiving celebrations. The governor added that they “believe this is going to continue to increase over the holidays.” Of course, COVID cases are originating from several different places, according to the contact tracing data.
